Clone a repository, make a change and push it

Description: Clone the repository server.git into a folder my-work, add a file todo.txt, commit it and push it to the remote.

Hint:

  • A clone already has the remote origin, so a plain git push is enough.

Solution

Terminal output

$ git clone server.git my-work
Cloning into 'my-work'…
done.
$ cd my-work
$ echo "buy milk" > todo.txt
$ git add todo.txt
$ git commit -m "Add todo list"
[main 9eaf666] Add todo list
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 todo.txt
$ git push
To /home/robin/server.git
4f5618b..9eaf666 main -> main

How it works

  • We used a local folder as the server. A GitHub URL works in the same way.
  • The last line shows that main was pushed to the remote main.
